Koniuchy massacre

The Koniuchy massacre occurred on 29 January 1944 when the Soviet partisans and some Jewish partisans massacred at least 38 Polish civilians in the town of Koniuchy (present-day Kaniukai, Lithuania). 120 Soviet partisans from various units attacked the village of Koniuchy in revenge for the local self-defense force's attacks on the Soviet partisans, and partisans massacred men, women, and children indiscriminately, as well as destroying most of the households.
